Dated hotel but adequate

This hotel was hit and miss for us. The bedroom was very clean and comfortable with adequate toiletries and clean linen. The bathroom was large in size and was functional. The staff were friendly and helpful. The spa facilities were as described but required updating.

Our only criticism is that this hotel is extremely outdated. All the facilities are old fashioned including the spa. A personal gripe for me was the breakfast set up. Although the food was plentiful and well presented, we were seated on shared tables with other guests which was in-conducive for me as someone with a social anxiety disorder. This made me feel extremely uncomfortable and I noticed that other people were as well. One table of guests who were sharing their table also seemed unhappy with the arrangement and left as soon as they were able. The interaction on that table was minimal and their discomfort was evident. Had it not been for this unfortunate breakfast set up, I would have enjoyed the experience more. Breakfast was not an enjoyable or relaxing experience for me at all for all the reasons mentioned.

Also, the hotel does not appear to be compliant with the new GDPR regulations. I work in the public sector and names and addresses of other guests were very clearly visible.More

Booked a twin room, decent size with a double and a single bed. Beds comfortable and bedding clean. The room generally could do with some tlc, new coat of paint, some deep cleaning around the shower area etc. The breakfast was lovely, in a good sized room, so you didn't feel crammed in. Reasonably priced, and the ability to bring our dogs with us was a huge bonus. It would be useful to have some advice regarding the hotel, eg WiFi code, breakfast times and evacuation protocol as the reception is not staffed at night. Despite this I would be happy to stay again.

The good..Beautiful from the outside & free parkingBreakfast is cooked to order & the tea is good

The bad...The staff are non existent... No food... a bar that doesn’t open unless you ask at reception but only till 9pm.. and the drinks are warm.. flat... if you want ice you get an ice bucket to grab with your hands.. decor resembles a nursing home.. don’t dare ask for an iron or hairdryer... I was told they had 1 hairdryer & that was out... I made a fuss & low & beyond anther appeared...Reception closes at 9pm & you get a side door key.. only problem is there are no light outside the side door which is located up 2 sets of stone steps surrounded by bushes, twigs across a pebble car park.Rooms locating .. my top tip.. you need sat nav or a nap.. as the building is like a maze.. up a few steps across a random landing up more stairs.. rooms numbers make no sense..Old fashioned decor... very old!!

The ugly..Extra pillows had no pillow casesToilet is possessed and noisey as was the sink..

And finallyCould be beautiful but needs a lot of modernising.. a lot of cleaning and some staff trying..

Not suitable for people with wheelchairs or problems getting up stairs..Check your bills as several in our group were overcharged and had additional things they hadn’t had.. drinks etc

Hotel set in Edwardian house, looks like it was last decorated in the 1950s. Needs renovation as sewage smell fills the room after flushing the toilet or turning on shower, shower is designed for dwarves. Good full English breakfast and staff are fantastic

I'm and optimist so nothing was so bad that it was awful but I did feel it was overpriced considering that most of the facilities on offer aren't available. The staff are lovely and doing their best but it's being run by about 5 people. They don't have the staff to make up the rooms mid stay. They direct you to your corridor rather than taking you to your room. The shower drainage is very poor causing me to stop/start the shower during showering so it doesn't overflow. The pool isn't available until after the breakfast service has finished so no early morning swim. There were no therapist on site for treatments these have to be arrange prior to arrival we arrived on a Friday asking for Saturday and if they could call the therapist to arrange (I don't think they even tried to contact any therapists- A lot of the staff are very young and seem inexperienced to deal with requests as they aren't aware of what they have permission to do or autonomy to problem solve) The restaurant and bar are permanently closed (apart from breakfast which is served in an hour and a half window) and watch out if it rains some of the corridor ceilings were leaking.

That said it's a lovely building, with some beautiful features, just needs an investment in repairs and staff. The staff that were there were friendly and polite.

My sister in law booked us in (party of 4) for a wedding nearby. The hotel has some very good staff, Rachel in reception was excellent. Luckily we read the reviews about no evening meal or a bar that opens. We decided to take our own supply with portable fridges. We would never dream of doing this but the hotel management are clearly not the least bit interested as evidenced by never responding to the reviews. I believe its family run. Can I suggest they pack it in and sell it to someone that actually has a clue on how to run a hospitality establishment,

Room tip: Book elsewhere
